Querencia (Spencer Reid x m!reader)🍬🍋

5+1 is my favorite trope lol

⚠️WARNING⚠️ a little steamy and descriptive so MINORS SHOO 18+

Desc: six times where Spencer is touchy

1.

You had gone to bed a long time ago. Spencer insisted on staying up however long he could to solve the case. No matter how much you tried to beg him, he didn’t budge.

You tossed and turned and tried to go to sleep, but you couldn’t without Spencer. After two hours of frustration, you decided enough was enough and stood up to get him.

“Spence, please take a break at least” you begged as you watched him pace around the room. “In a moment” he mumbles, running his hands through his hair. You knew that he was especially stressed in this state.

So you spoke his language. You moved in front of him, and made sure to slowly reach out your hands to him, to make sure that he had an out. He eagerly took your hands in his. His shoulders relaxed just a little bit.

“I… I’m sorry” he whispers. “Don’t be sorry” you say, holding his cheek. “The case will be there for us tomorrow”. He nodded, and allowed you to lead him to bed.

As soon as you laid down, he wrapped himself around you. He tucked his head into your neck, his arm going around your side and his legs tangling with yours.

You knew Spencer had trouble uttering the three word phrase, but when he kissed your cheek, he didn’t have to say it. You knew.

2.

Currently, you were sitting on the couch as happy as a clam reading your book. You always cherished the few hours you had at home before called in to a case.

Spencer was lying with his head on your thighs intently watching Doctor Who. These types of moments were your favorite, when you two just co-existed with each other.

Apparently though, Spencer was feeling bored, because he started to hike up your boxers and kissed the insides of your thighs.

“Spencer…” you warned, not ready to put down your book just yet. He just smiled and kept going, kissing higher just to switch to the other leg.

You weighed your options here. You REALLY wanted to keep reading, but Spencer was being especially distracting. When he gently bit down, you decided the book could wait til later.

3.

You woke up to a shrill alarm, and groaned in frustration. You had finally gotten five hours of sleep.

Spencer stirred beside you, peaking his head out from your chest. “Case?” He asks, his low voice doing something to your brain that you were too tired to address at the moment.

You moved to get ready, but Spencer refused to budge and pulled you back down on top of him.

“Spence…we gotta go” you say, your face planted in his neck. “I know” he grumbles, pushing at your chest to get ready.

You chugged some serious coffee before heading out with Spencer, and promised him that as soon as the two of you got home, you could resume.

4.

You had just finished showing the new trainee around, and started to clean up your desk to head home for the day.

He was leaning against your desk all of the sudden, and you flashed him a friendly smile. “Did you forget something?”. “Yeah, I forgot your number” he flirted, sliding his cellphone towards you.

You awkwardly laughed at that. “I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but I’m not interested in you like that” you explain. His shoulders slumped but he took your rejection and went home.

You grabbed your bag and made it outside, before you felt a gentle hand on your arm. You didn’t have to turn to know it was Spencer. “Wow, are you actually coming home at the same time as me?” You teased.

You grew concerned at his silence but then he suddenly pushed you up against the wall with a dark lustful look in his eye. It made your cock twitch in your slacks.

“…Spence?”. “I don’t like that he was flirting with you” he simply states, leaning in to start making marks along your neck.

You knew you should have felt ashamed with how easily he riled you up, but he didn’t show this side often. “Spencer please” you say, not sure what you were begging for.

He smiled against your neck at your plea. The shame only fueled the moment more. You had to wear a turtleneck the next day at work.

5.

Coincidentally, both you and Spencer had gotten hurt on a case, resulting in the both of you being banished to Garcia’s cave.

Garcia had gone out to get food, which allowed Spencer to basically become a koala. He had to have some part of his body on you, and right now, he had his foot curled around your own as you both went over the case.

“I mean obviously what we know right now is that all the victims are female and that they each come from a teacher background” you said, banging your pen against your cup in an act of frustration.

He reached over to stop the nagging noise, but didn’t let go of your hand after that. “The unsub must have had issues with a maternal figure” he comments.

You stood up to get a bottle of water, and Spencer jokingly pulled you into his lap, careful to keep his injured hand out of reach.

“Spence!” You shouted gleefully. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” he teases, continuing to look over the case file.

“Oh lover boys, I have returned- oh..oh! I’m so sorry” Garcia rambled as she quickly closed the door and ran off. The two of you bursted into laughter.

+1

“What’s with you today?” Morgan asks with a smile. “What do you mean?” You ask. “You seem like you’re up to something” he presses. “No” you say, ignoring the heavy weight of the ring in your pocket.

You had impulsively bought it literally before coming into work. You just felt like it was right. You planned on proposing tonight.

Once Morgan had stopped teasing, you made your way to Hotch’s office. He gestured for you to sit as you closed the door.

“I need your help with keeping Spencer just a little bit late today” you ask. “Why?” He asks, his eyebrow arching.

“I want to propose tonight and I need time to set up” you explained, and watched a small smile stretch across the man’s face.” Sure” he agreed, shaking your hand before sending you on your way.

Hotch kept his word, and occupied Spencer. You hurried home, lit a few candles, and waited for him to come home, your heart beating out of your chest.

The doorknob turned with a rambling Spencer entering, and you froze in your tracks. When he didn’t see you, he called your name and entered the bedroom, looking around with an unreadable expression.

You slowly approached him, and took his hands in yours. “Spencer….these last three years of my life have been filled with so much love, loss, and tragedy. You have been my best friend, my rock, my tether to earth”. You knelt down, and presented him the ring.

“Would you do me the honor of marrying me?” You asked, your nerves spiking when his expression didn’t change.

He knelt down with you, and pulled a ring out of his pocket. “Actually, will you marry me?” He asked with a huge smile. You laughed out in glee, quickly nodding your head.

He surged forward to kiss you as you both exchanged rings, and fell to the floor a laughing mess of limbs.

[cali]

im a different anon but im just curious what advice you would give to someone whos been pillbugging it for um. over a year now

mmm i cant really answer how to stop having depression which im guessing is what u mean + i dont know how ur head works but ive been living mostly NEET-ly for more than 2 yrs now and everyday im getting a better curve at dealing with it so i can tell u what works for me.

half the time when im pillbugging hard im paralyzed by a nontangible fear and the only thing that could stop it is adressing wherever the fear is coming from but the confrontation of the topic, trying to figure out where its even coming from, is terrifying too so i dont do it and stay swimming in tar. theres a sentence people keep saying when they explain why they watch 2 hour video essays "it makes my head go quiet". thats the enemy, the thought, not the person saying it. long term i mean. when its short term anguish that can be bridged by pillbugging its fine i think but if ur "making ur head quiet" for more than a month i urge u to make it go really loud again but thats hard. the only times i can try and confront those thoughts is when i feel otherwise nice, if i got externally forced to have a fun day, hike with my papa, date day with my girlfriend, sometimes just got myself to make a nice meal and it helped, when u feel better its a little less scary and u can maybe try and think out of it a little better. also i think on those days youre generally more positively charged so u got more hope outlook. COOL. i think this is why some people do meditation. im not good at it so i dont really know but i think its a brave pasttime of tackling unpleasant ideas. i used to try and dope my way out of it with lsd cuz everytime i used it it kind of forced me to confront whatever trouble i had but ive forbad myself that cuz i didnt want to rely on it as crutch + it was just unpleasant to get hit over the head everytime. now i only do it when i feel good already (havent done it in half a year lol). sorry, drug tangent. also weed is synonymous with pillbugging 4 me.

otherwise, rituals.... mmmmm..... when therapists and whoevers say stuff like take daily walks daily exercise take daily shower i think all of those are like half about the direct benefits they give and half just about doing anything regularly. cuz it helps. during pillbug hours the point for me is kind of to have time pass as fast as possible so the timeframe to hurt is reduced which is counterproductive cuz if it flows u by rlly hard u cant really grasp onto anything to get off the ride easily. and its never going to come really easy theres no probable single action or event that is going to singlehandedly pull u out of the mire, no rapture, no healing vitamin, its always going to be slow and tedious and boring and stupid but a routine is a nice framework to start that. brushing ur teeth is nice. and when u do something daily the days start becoming more tangible again and u will be able to tell how many days ago tuesday was. maybe u can think abotu what factors motivate u and twist them to do your biddinggg. shame and dissapointment works really well for me if i tell someone i will have this done by then and i dont it usually overpowers the malaise or whatever other reason has been making me not do it prior. but this requires social bonds and i cant guarantee u have those. in summer i started doing therapy cuz in germany i need it for transgenderism and shes also a good beacon for that, if she says do something until next time we meet i dont want to dissapoint her. other than that, um idk, everyting else is just kind of part of that. take walks even if u dont want to think about things even if its scary. be brave like childrens book illustration of knight slaying dragon. and then maybe u get a princess kiss

No and never will.

4. what sports do you play/have you played?

I played soccer when I in like elementary school and then did a season of tennis in like high school. Low-key hated doing both of them. I'm not really one for playing sports unless it's the sort of casual pick up game with friends. I much prefer to watch.

Yes, religiously.

6. what's the first thing you notice about people?

I'm going to be honest I am not self aware enough to know the answer to this one. But probably their outfit if I had to guess.

7. what's your eye color?

I always say gray.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

To my endless annoyance my brain is absolutely the worst while watching scary movies, like the most obviously built up jump scare will still spook me, so happy endings I guess.

9. any talents?

Uh, I'm really good at packing? And I'm pretty good with horses? I don't know, my mind kind of blanked on anything I have ever been good at when I read this.

10. where were you born?

Michigan

11. what are your hobbies?

I am a huge nerd and also a grandmother (this is not a slight towards grandmothers). I love watching movies and binging tv shows and have an extensive dvd collection because they will tear physical media from my cold dead hands. I also love playing video games and really want to build my own desktop one of these days towards that end. I will read anything that looks half interesting and have also lost many an hour to writing whatever idea pops into my head. I crochet, can technically knit, and am learning how to spin yarn and sew beyond basic mending. I also play sudoku, solitaire (spider specifically), and do puzzles. Plus like hiking and traveling to occasionally get out of the house. Oh and hockey.

12. do you have any pets?

Nope. I grew up with a wide variety of animals but have yet to get one of my own. Someday I'm considering getting a cat or two but we'll see.

13. how tall are you?

I am 5'5".

14. favorite subject in school?

History, followed closely by English. This probably has just as much to do with my teachers as the actual subject material as those classes were really fun.

15. dream job?

None lol. I dream of financial stability not working. If I had to pick something though it would probably be something physical. I like being able to say "I made that" or something with horses. I loved working with them before. Most realistically though it wouldn't be one thing. I like the idea of being a jack of all trades type and bouncing around learning how to do a bunch of things.

Life Update

Life chat beneath the cut. I feel like this one is a bit on the whiney complainy side, but it is where I am now, so I'm keeping it for posterity, lol! But don't read if you're not down for some whine and cheese xD

So I took the last week off from work. I was frustrated, because I didn't go anywhere- it was a staycation. We opted for that mostly because I was going to lose my gd mind if I didn't get some time off. I get 3 weeks off per year, plus a week closure around Christmas "made of" federal holidays that we do not get, so I try to optimize my time off. But... I didn't have the brain space to do anything, and also, as I tried to plan things... Holy damn, everything is so much more expensive than it was even like three years ago.

But now I'm further frustrated because I spent the vast majority of the week just doing damned chores and household projects. Like, I told myself I would stop doing any chores yesterday, but I still spent until 2 PM exercising and doing "a few quick things." The same thing happened today. I'm kind of in, like, a horrible sort of awe of how long shit takes, man. For example, it took my husband and I about 2 hr to take down a broken ceiling fan that was 30 years old and not very user friendly and replace it with a new one. It took me an hour with a hair drier and a scraper to remove like 2.5 cm of hot glue from a doll's head (holding her removable eyes in place) so I could send her out to be painted. And I spent 40-90 min outside for like 8-12 days weeding and doing some basic yard work to prep for a mulch delivery.

I'm trying to be more fit recently. I am, ah. A very unfit human. I think I somehow have not mentioned this in the 12 years of this blog, but... I've had a million surgeries on my hip and spent roughly age 6 months to 2 yrs in a body cast, then until roughly age 4 in physical therapy to learn to move around. I'm clumsy and can just, like, fall over unprompted, I assume because of all that. I don't have the full range of movement in my lower body, so doing physical things can be... Really daunting. I always put exercise and mobility training off.

And of course, it's starting to bite my ass, lmao. I recently learned that humans begin losing muscle mass in their 30s, meaning that weight training is essential. I also learned that using a machine to exercise (like an elliptical) is only good for cardiovascular health. The machine takes on a lot of the... strain?? Work?? Of moving, meaning you aren't working your body in the same way as when you just... Walk. It's meant to help you work out longer, so you can develop your cardiovascular system. (Incidentally, this is why walking and hiking are great exercise).

That's why I took on a lot of the gardening/yard work. I did clear out all of the weeds! And the way my soreness decreased over the days means that I did something good for my body.

But, like. The amount of time caring for your body takes is absolutely gobsmackingly unreal. Holy shit god damn! I've always struggled to keep the balls of work, mental health, creativity, physical health, and social health in the air, not touching on chores and stuff. The physical ball is the one I always put down first.

But I only get this one body, and the American healthcare system is a nightmare. So... Yeah, the priorities need to shift here. My foot has been hurting for a few weeks, now, and it happened last year after Japan, too. It's time to actually go to the doctor for that.

I am sensing more and more that I need to give less to work, too. That's difficult for someone like me to do, because I always feel a deep need to do my best with everything. But... Working this hard just isn't sustainable, and it isn't as if I'm rewarded over someone in the same position who does less.

I haven't had much of an opportunity to rest or do anything creative this week, despite being off. And I'm just as distressed by the fact that um... Just being gone at work from 8:20 AM-5:50 PM every day makes it impossible to do the tasks that built up over the last 3-4 years of being in this home. You know, sometimes people tell me, "But what would you do if you didn't have a job? I'd go crazy!" And I'm like- DUDE. DUDE! I could exercise, walk, work on house projects, and do chores all day every day for like three years and still have stuff to do! That doesn't even touch the personal projects and hobbies I want to work on.

Hopefully, I can figure out some kind of balance that works for me and is healthy. I wish you all the best, my dears <3

15 Questions for 15 Friends

Tagged by @stuffforthestash

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not a real life person but my name is a Biblical name that my mom really liked. Except, when I asked her if I was named after the Bible character, she admitted that no, she really loved this one musical growing up and never got over the names of one of the characters lol So I guess I'm named after a character in a musical too

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? girl idek it could have been two days ago it could have been a week ago, my memory is a sieve. I don't cry often though

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? No but I want kids one day. Adopted, fostered, biological, Ima make it happen one day

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED? I am...so very bad at sports. I have terrible depth perception and these days my knees will kill me if I tried anything high-intensity. I was a band kid lmao

DO YOU USE SARCASM? Sarcasm is a love language to me <3

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their...vibe? I don't know how to explain it. I sort of mentally categorize people in my head based on clothing/hairstyle/any makeup/etc and fit them temporarily into boxes like "sporty, professional, feminine, etc" until I start talking to them and get a better understanding of who they are

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR? Basic blue with a bit of gray

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? I can't watch scary movies because I will dream the scenarios with me in the worst possible situation :') And I hate jumpscares. Happy endings all the way tho, love a happy ending

ANY TALENTS? I can sing really well. I used to be classically trained but between getting covid twice and not keeping up with my scales and arpeggios (lol), I've lost a bit of my former range. I can also learn the words of a song in a few hours and remember it for a long time afterward (which sucks when my brain goes into Random Jukebox mode and I get a song stuck in my head that I don't even like that much but know too well)

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? In a nondisclosed state in the American South where most days you experience all 4 seasons at once and every summer is like living in the devil's armpit (a phrase I've heard more than once from fellow southern denizens lol)

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? Writing, watching YouTube, playing video games...I want to get back into cooking, crafts, hiking, etc but I'm bad at managing time and where I currently live has like zero interesting hikes nearby

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? Two cats! Their names are Muse and Indy

HOW TALL ARE YOU? Too tall to be a hobbit but slightly shorter than the average human gal

FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL? English. I was also too advanced for most of my English classes, which is probably why I liked them best, because half the time I finished the work in a few minutes and spent the rest of class reading. And now I'm an English professor lol

DREAM JOB? Book writer...Honestly being an English lit professor is also a dream job but I'm working on accomplishing that so it feels less like a "dream" and more like a future reality (hopefully). But being a published author with an established fanbase?? Oh man, that IS the dream.

Thank you for the ask!! Tagging uh.....anyone who hasn't done this yet and wants to steal it. Free tag!

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Thank you @coffeebanana, @ck2k18, and @lesbitorte for the tags :)))

1. Are you named after anyone?

I have my grandmother's name as my middle name, but my first name is new to the family tree.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Oh uhhhh I might have teared up watching Across the Spiderverse a couple nights ago? I also think I shed a few modest tears after being left at the airport for an extra hour at 2 am (NOBODY'S fault, just a victim of circumstance), on the tail end of a very stressful day of travel

3. Do you have kids?

No but I'd LOVE to someday

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I'm told I do, especially by people who I'm just meeting :) but it's the vibe in my family, so I don't think of it as "a lot"

5. What sports do you play/have played?

No SPORTS sports, but I did swimming and running for a while, and now I rock climb and hike. Also I love dancing and yoga!

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

Gosh it depends on the person - probably if they're nice or not? I interact with a lot of different people every day at work, and so the first thing I usually clock is whether I think they'll be easy to get along with.

7. What’s your eye color?

🔵👄🔵

they were once described as "fanfiction blue" and I think that's my favorite one to date

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I don't feel like the two are exclusive to each other but dude happy endings!!! I don't like my main emotional experience in a piece of media to be fear, and i don't need it to be HAPPY either but at least a sense of catharsis and relief is needed or I get a little messed up about it lol

9. Any special talents?

Ooh well I'm pretty good at languages! If we mean like a party trick kind of talent, I'm coming up blank, but I do have a lot of poetry memorized.

10. Where were you born?

Texas baby 🤠🤠

11. What are your hobbies?

so so many!!!! art of course, I'm learning to swing dance, piano and singing are something I love doing when I have the chance, hiking and rock climbing as I said, plant identification, cooking (I'm big into mediterranean food right now - complicated saucy entrees on fresh bread or rice is like my IDEAL meal I think), crocheting, and reading - probably others lol but that's enough of a list!

12. Do you have pets?

MHM A CALICO NAMED JUKEBOX LOVE HER TO BITS AND PIECES

13. How tall are you?

5'6" and a quarter hehe - 168 cm

14. Favorite subject in school?

It depends so much on the teacher. I've LOVED my linguistics and brain cognitive science classes in college, though.

15. Dream job?

I have a couple! Top choice would be a specific type of interpreter in the language field I'm studying to go into. I want to be a teacher at some point (my parents and grandparents were all teachers for at least a bit, and I've always assumed and hoped I'd end up in a classroom again for a while as the educator), and I would SO SO love to be a children's book illustrator someday. Artists like the Johnstone sisters and whoever else illustrated my books as a kid have had such an influence on the interior decoration of my brain.

Yet another “I suddenly remembered” from me—after midnight when my brain just decides to randomly go off on its own, wandering through memories.

This one’s got transphobia and I hate it.

I was a trucker for the last four years of my life, and during my… second year? I think? Yeah, I was in my automatic instead of the manual. Anyway, I’d worked all day, probably close to 10 hours driving so like a 12 hour work day. Pretty typical of my mid to late work week at the time.

And I wanna say I was in Alabama. I could probably tell you exactly where this Pilot was, but I’ll leave that out. Anyway, I was exhausted, I was hungry, and I really had to pee, so I went into the bathroom. And I tended to sit in there for a good long while because walking the half a mile from my truck to the store to pee wasn’t something I wanted to do more than twice in a night. So I’m sitting there and I’m not paying attention to anything, people come in and leave. It’s a bathroom, most people are in there for 1 of 2 things.

Well, suddenly someone’s banging on my door. I make a noise, like mm? And she says something but I don’t fucking know what it was, I’m hard of hearing. So I ask her to repeat it and she says it again, but still not loud enough and I said “I don’t know” or something. Idk. I had no idea why she was knocking on stall door, there were like 4 stalls and I was the only one in there before she came in.

So I think nothing of it, but she’s being loud with her children—what I assumed were two boys at the time. She leaves soon after and then maybe five minutes later someone else comes in and pounds on the door and asks me a question. I ask him to repeat it and he does: “what’s your gender?” In more words than that, but you could tell he was uncomfortable. And I asked him why? He said he just needed me to answer and then like the bottom dropped out from under me. Because I could simply answer what he wants to hear—but I instead say “why does it matter? I’m using the toilet.” And he tries to get me to answer again, I don’t and he sighs and leaves.

And I continue scrolling like Facebook or tumblr or ao3 or whatever and then I think about it—I’m in Alabama… they could call the cops on me, lol. So I say fuck it, wash my hands, and leave. And I can feel eyes on me. The ladies behind the check out counter—my plan of getting McDonald’s goes out the window and I leave through the trucker entrance. And I call my mom. Because I’m shaking.

This lady knew nothing about me, but made an assumption based on the only thing she could see—my work boots. And then made another assumption on the only thing she knew—the pitch of my voice, which isn’t high on a normal day, and definitely wasn’t that night because at the end of a long work day, the last thing I want to do is mask for strangers. So I don’t.

I’m non-binary. Visibly not feminine, but not exactly masculine. I was wearing jeans, tshirt, and my work boots—which just looked like low-rise hiking boots because my feet are weird and I can’t wear calf high footwear.

Like it doesn’t surprise me that it happened. Some people are just hateful and refuse to mind their own business. But it’s so much different when it happens to you. And I was reminded of that just a few minutes ago because my brain just likes to throw random memories at me for no reason some days and today it was that one.

I made a point of avoiding that truck stop for at least a month afterwards. There’s a few more on that stretch of interstate that are better anyway…

T-35 days

work is now easing into its slow season. i've still been training the new girl A here and there. the last time i met up with her, i was "too nice" and continued training her for 2.5 hours and basically held her hand through everything. it's really frustrating when we have gone over something 3x before and she doesn't remember how to do it. at the rate of which she's learning, we still haven't gone over the other populations i used to manage. the last time we met up, i set a hard boundary at 1 hour and told her i had to go.

i believe this is a hire of nepotism, which puts me in an odd place. i haven't complained or made comments about her to my previous manager because i think she's some sort of distant friend or relative. but going forward, she will be my old manager's responsibility.

boston: we took our first amtrak ride to boston. by coincidence, we've gone to boston once a year during aug/sept for the past 3 years. the first time was by plane, the second by driving, and third time by train.

after a 4 hour train ride, we arrived to the boston back bay station around 2pm on saturday. we checked into our hotel room where the wedding venue was also taking place. took a shower and got ready.

they provided a shuttle to the church. it was my first time witnessing a church wedding, and for white people, lol! it was the most "like the movies" wedding i've been to

the wedding was pretty intimate, about 6-7 tables. matt was surprised he got invited

we got seated with the groom's (who was matt's coresident) medical friends. i sat with an endocrinologist, pathologist, PCP, palliative care consultant and hospitalist. the spouses of the doctors were also non-med. and the one PCP who is married to another doctor, his anesthesiologist partner didn't show up, lol. other people kept asking if i was a doctor too and i had FOMO for not having a dr title

on sunday, we met up with K for about two hours. she's going through some personal things so i sensed that she wasn't really in a sociable mood and didn't want to hang out for long. however, we got to exchange creations with each other and have dinner together. she crocheted a unicorn for me, and i gave her a bowl i made in ceramics (color taro).

randomly, matt and i stumbled upon a korean group dancing at the park while we were walking around. they gave out bracelet freebies and i picked up 3 packets. we all made and wore a "friendship bracelet". she texted me today that she's still wearing it because it reminds her of spontaneity + friendship 🥰

although my friendship with K is 99% digital (this was my third time ever meeting in person over 4+ years?), we've gotten pretty close because we're now texting almost daily and are learning japanese together via duolingo

even though i was pretty anxious about these two events, i left boston feeling pretty fulfilled. i got to hang out with matt's medical friends, their partners, and got to also see my friend for a bit. it makes me feel proud to see the friendships/community we created on the east coast, even though the meetups are quite infrequent, lol

exercise: i'm motivated to start running again, or being more consistent with cardio (biking is another option). since returning to NYC and being in a whole mood about this move, i realize i've been more or less like a potato. i was mentally at my best when i did consistent, challenging workouts. this was a long, long time ago. and when i'm overly emotional, it's easy to just slip into a depressive mode and not workout at all.

upcoming plans: we have a double date for pizza with S&I tomorrow. i'll be going on a hike with T&S on sunday. a pool hangout with A&S the following weekend. then, switzerland. i don't have the same excitement for social plans as i used to have when i was in the "building my life here" mode, because now it's become "leaving my life here" mode. and it feels a little pensive and sad thinking about our last hangouts, but the thoughts are probably always worse than what actually is. it's like i'm ready to leave, but i don't want to say goodbye.

media: currently reading i am not your perfect mexican daughter and enjoying it. also watching kdrama recommended by ceramics friend LG called king the land with matt. we both like it and find it funny.

REU Update Weeks 4,5,6

I am probably the most inconsistent person ever when it comes to social media. I just want these to look back on for the future and it doesn’t take me long but I still don’t do it lol. So today I am going to try and recap the last few weeks of the REU. It is currently week 7 and I am trying to write about weeks 4, 5, and 6 so I definitely am going to forget a lot. This whole post is going to be messy so gear up. 

As a group we went on a cave tour a couple of weeks ago and that was super fun. There was much more hiking than expected though on this day and it was all outside in the blazing 100 degree sun which was not so fun for me but we pushed through. We also went to the New River Gorge National Park and did the bridge walk. That was the scariest thing I have ever done, being nearly 900 feet in the air with nothing but a narrow piece of steel and copper holding me. But obviously everything turned out okay or I wouldn’t be writing this. The views from high up were breathtaking. Not sure if I would do it again because I nearly shat my pants but it was really cool and I recommend for others to do it unless you are super afraid of heights. I have plans to go to Mammoth Cave National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains while at my REU since I am much closer to them here than back at home. 

I went to my boyfriend's apartment a couple weeks ago because he isn’t too far from here, and it was really nice to see him for a while. My work here is just computational so I can leave for a couple days if I want which is really nice. We did some shopping, met with his parents that I haven’t seen in a while, and went to a really cool aviary. The penguins were super cute and definitely my favorite part. 

My research has been coming along. The past couple of weeks I definitely have been slacking and not getting as much work done as I need to but I put in a full day today and over the weekend did a lot of work too to try and catch up as much as possible. It is 11 PM and I am still going because I am motivated and know I need to catch up pretty badly. But I am starting to write about my research as we come closer to the final days of the REU. 

I have been drawing a little bit more than I usually do here which is nice. I have also been playing minecraft for the first time in a super long time which has been super fun and occupies me more than just sitting on my phone or driving around. I have been having a good time here so far but I am not getting along with my roommate that well anymore and I’m not really friends with anyone here so it is just getting a bit lonely being by myself all day every day pretty much. I am excited to go home to see my sister who is my bestie and all of our pets. I’ll have a couple weeks at home before regular school starts back up again so hopefully I can spend a lot of time with my family before leaving again. 

I have been pretty stressed the past few days particularly because I realized how far behind I feel and because I realized how fast time is going by, and the fact I need to be applying to graduate schools very soon. It is scary but motivating and stressful at the same time. My plan this week is to seriously catch up, especially on reading, and I plan on going back to my boyfriend's house later this week for a few days and hopefully I get a decent amount of work done there since he works at weird times. 

Other random thoughts at the moment: I want a Jelly cat dragon so bad they are so cute but why do they cost so much. I have like 5 songs on repeat at the moment but I am about to start going insane if I hear any of them one more time. I got concert tickets to see a smaller band I LOVE and I am so excited, I’ll have to drive a few hours but it should be worth it. I want to upload a bunch of photos from this summer at some point too. Okay that is all, goodnight.

Hiking Sehun!

On one hand, Sehun acts like an expert with how he's casually dressed and how he knows how long it'll take him to make the round trip. On the other hand, Sehun is a massive bluffer on occasion lol.

Friend telling him that he'll regret it if he doesn't eat before.

He has quite a few staff with him though, eh? I didn't notice because obviously a bunch of them are behind the camera.

Stretching must be always

Sehun's been to this mountain 5 times though, so maybe there is truth to his good estimate lol.

Sehun's been to the highest mountain in Korea, Hallasan, and it took him 8 hours.

His hands are freezing and the guy was like "I told you to wear gloves..."

Look at how bundled up this guy is compared to Sehun. It's like winter vs. spring lol.

I'd watched the Key & Renjun hiking video before and it made me jealous that there are so many mountains in Korea that are easily accessible to urbanites. I imagine it's good for their health too, both in terms of long distance walking, but also becoming accustomed to breathing in the higher altitudes.

Cameraman abandoned?!?!

Friend having a hard time and Sehun being like "I told you that's why I don't eat before hikes." l guess it's a little like how you shouldn't eat before you swim or do intensive exercise because you'll be moving up and down a lot as you go up the steps.

Friend: You should have stopped me [from eating the fish cake]

Sehun wants to bring Vivi here but he doesn't like walks lol. And also he thinks he's a human hehe.

They've only been walking for 18 minutes ^^;; Still a long way to go

4 of his team dropped out and only 3 are left!!! (Including him) RIP

It looks like the cameraman is also a hiker, so he and Sehun are chatting about hiking on Hallasan.

Sehun: Maybe I could hike Hallasan in 6 hours Cameraman: ...

Sehun took all his friends to the top of Hallasan :o A leader :P

Man, this makes me want to hike so bad!!!!!! I wish there were mountains in my area.

Sehun only started hiking 5 years ago :o Hopefully there's still hope for me lol. I mean as a person who wants to hike but is already an adult.

Sehun spotting the ones who are late lol.

I just looked up Hallasan and it's very pretty! It looks like there's something like a crater on top of a mountain and flowers grow there in the warmer months.

Sehun teaching us to wear layers :P Luckily I did know that >3

Here come the nightmare stairs???

Aw this hiking spot is very crowded on weekends :( The world is against the 9-5 workers T_T

Sehun is very no-fuss about this all :>

Sehun must have absolute thighs of steel the way he's just killing those stairs.

Less than 30% left!!!!!

He's just standing there with his arms crossed looking at the scenery like a dad

So once they arrive here, then they're almost done :3

Look at the trees behind them, they're kind of pretty :3

Sehun was saying how hiking gives him a sense of accomplishment, and it makes him feel refreshed. That's why I like running :3

Stairs are numbered

Looks like Sehun brings his friends hiking a lot :3

Sehun said Cheonggyesan isn't dangerous, just has a lot of stairs

Apparently Bukhansan has no stairs so it's dangerous, so you have to like, wear gloves and hold on to railing ^^;;

Walking around the stone three times for good energy

He's so tall lol

Absorbing energy

The manager that is lagging behind him (presumably the friend I was referring to before?) was in the Marine Corps.

The guy hiking with Sehun was also in the Marine Corps haha.

Caught up :3

In the higher sections, it looks like the steps aren't as sturdy, so you'd still have to be careful not to hurt yourself I think.

Kitty!!!!

Arrived! 582.5 m above sea level.

Reached the top in 1 hr 15 min. That's pretty good if he expected to finish the trip in 2 hr 40 min.

Look! The bird!!

The view is pretty good too.

Going down will probably be a lot faster

Sehun's ears getting cold ^^;;

Sehun learned to adapt his breathing for dancing, which he finds easier than hiking :o Every day I hear idols tell us about how literally serving in the army is less intensive than the capitalism machine.

The manager had brought walking sticks because he said it would be better for his knees on the way down lol

Manager said that he'll practise on mountains like these before challenging Hallasan

There's an elementary school at the foot of Achasan Mountain and kids just go there to play :o Awesome

Sehun recommends Bukhansan and then Hallasan

Sehun went to Hallasan a couple of days ago?? He's just busy hiking eh lol.

He had to wear spikes and bring walking sticks because it was already snowy at Hallasan.

A six year old girl climbed Hallasan!!!! Queen!!!

The video was an excuse to go hiking >3

Sehun said he didn't think Manager would go up but Manager was like "I won't give up!!"

Lol Manager was the only one who ate fish cakes XD So lesson learned I guess. Eat very lightly.

Sehun teaching Manager to go down the stairs sideways and to switch sides because it will be better on your muscles.

HIKING BATTLE!!!!! That would be sooo fun.

Omg Sehun should totally make a hiking video channel!!!!

Sehun said he expects that this will be his last video before he enlists ;_;

It took about 2 hr 15 min!! I think they managed to do it fast because they dropped the slower members of their group lol.

Sehun telling us about the elderly folks who walk backwards for their muscles.

Awww what a nice video.

Like I said with the Key & Renjun video, this just made me really want to hike.

But other than that, I liked this video! I realize that Sehun plays up the brattiness for variety content. But here, we see Sehun who's a little more himself. He enjoys hiking a lot, something that I didn't know. And he just wanted to share this activity with his fans. For once, he's the one controlling the narrative, he's showing us his hobby through his eyes, rather than his performing through the lens that the company chooses for him.

Anyway I'd be so down for Sehun starting a hiking channel. I can hike vicariously through him haha.

Solo Travel Log #2

In a sequel to my Oregon adventures, I made a similar hiking-focused solo trip in Washington. I was initially planning to do drive up to Vancouver and do touristy city things, but I had bought an annual Northwest Forest Pass that unlocks a slew of hikes in the PNW.

I remember feeling completely recharged after my 4-day Oregon trip. It was only 2 months ago; why do I feel so stressed already? I wonder if I’m really that behind on everything, if I’m really that inefficient, if I’m really that bad at handling pressure. 

I recently read a friend’s blog post about trauma and anxiety precipitated by caring too much, and overcoming this by choosing to be intentional about who and what to care about. I don’t know if it’s pretentious to say that I think I also care too much, but I think that’s what got to me in recent times. Perfectionism, combined with a strong believe in values and how I think things should be has made me unravel. When something bothers me, I tend to process everything in an increasingly cynical and negative mindset. Everything just spirals. Even walking behind someone slow can send me into a rage. 

At the beginning of this trip, I was so done with life. I almost wished I would get eaten by a bear so I wouldn’t have to deal with all the issues I was facing. My flight was delayed nearly 2 hours (it’s only 1.5 hour flight time lol) and I was running on less than 4 hours of sleep after working evening shift the day before. I was deathly tired but decided to go ahead with my itinerary. 

Even after just one day, I felt refreshed. There’s something about being in the forest that clears my mind. There’s something therapeutic about stomping through the trail, immersing myself in nature, forcing myself to unplug, and allowing my mind to wander. 

Sometimes I think about productive things like plans with work, other times I think about music, yet other times I think about what I should do with my life, or I just focus on my steps and footwork through the rocks. And sometimes I have to run hard, physically fall, and pick myself up before I can get things off my mind. 

This time, I fell onto some sharp rocks. There was blood. But I got up, wiped it off, and kept going. I’m probably being more dramatic than I need to be, though it’s life lessons like this that help me reframe my mentality. As Tablo often incorporates in his lyrics, “what doesn’t kill me can only make me bleed.” 

Now I know why Thoreau became so enlightened in Walden. My 4 days of hiking adventures through lush rainy forests, rocky mountain passes, and beautiful crystal-clear lakes made me realize that maybe things aren’t as bad as I thought they were, that maybe I just need to open my mind a little because nothing is black and white, that maybe I should try not to be so bothered by the principle of things it’s impossible to always make everything follow my values, and that I should have more self-compassion.

Yup, those are my musings from my ~30 miles of hiking, ~6900′ of cumulative elevation gain, and ~650 miles of driving.

Also, the views and food were very good.

15 questions, 15 tags

i was tagged by the lovely @hammity-hammer thank you darling! <33 It was SO interesting to read your answers and getting to know you better. I don't have a piercing yet but I would def get one at your shop, if you ever open one!! <3

Gonna put this under a read more so I don't clutter anyone's dash :)

1. Are you named after anyone? Not really. My mom was watching a lot of American movies when she had been pregnant with me, looking for a name and that one came up in the credits. To be fair, she wanted to give me a different name but my father vetoed that one, so my name is their compromise.

2. When was the last time you cried? Depends a bit on how we define crying. Work has been really hard the last few months and I did not get a lot of sleep and I was really exhausted. So, when 2 weeks ago my boss called me after I worked 8 hours already to tell me she had some issues with a text I wrote and then we talked this through for almost 3h and then I realized I would need to rewrite the whole text that same night I had tears spring to my eyes. In front of my boss (video call). Not my best moment. But real crying? No idea, actually. I don't cry a lot tbh.

3. Do you have kids? Nope, and I also don't want them. Never have. I like my friend's kids and being the cool auntie, but that's it.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? the more tired I am, the more sarcastic I get. I try to tone it down usually because while it can be amusing at times it's also kind of a negative kind of humour and a downer if you use it too much. Also very easy to hurt people with it.

5. What's the first thing you notice about people? Varies a lot. Their general appearance I guess, like height, figure, hair. It's not like I single out a certain feature. And from there it depends on the context, the person, my mood etc.

6. What's your eye color? Hard to describe. It's green, but not like grass. More a faded kind of green, grey-green but with specks of brown when you get really close.

7. Scary movies or happy endings? there are scary movies with happy endings ;) But yeah, as a kid/teenager I was a sucker for horror movies, I watched them all. Then I moved out and started living alone. Horror movies lost their charm then so now I have to go with happy endings. Life sucks enough as it is, give me some escapism.

8. Any special talents? At parties I always impressed people by being able to fit my whole fist into my mouth lol but I wouldn't say that's a special talent, just a flexible jaw. I'm very good with numbers, and patterns, and logic? I have a very analytical mind. Oh, and I'm a very good runner.

9. Where were you born? A very small town smack in the middle of nowhere in Germany. I played in cow dung as a kid.

10. What are your hobbies? Running, working out, taking long walks and hikes in the woods (yeah I'm one of these outdoorsy people you've been warned about). If getting tattooes counts as a hobby then tattooes lol.

11. Do you have any pets? My beloved dog Bella (the floof, as Jen would say). She's the light of my life. Huge ass snow white dog, cuddly as fuck at home, more of a Cujo outside. She has a very strong distrust of other people. She's bred for protection and takes this very serious.

12. What sports do you play/have you played? Outside of PE I never really "played" a sport. I run since I am 17, I train at the gym regularly, I go for really long walks (record is 60km in one go) and I did KravMaga for about 2 years. I want to start MMA but it's expensive as fuck.

13. How tall are you? A very average 5'7'' (170cm)

14. Favorite subject in school? Philosophy, history, politics as well as German and English (those two had been my advanced classes)

15. Dream job? I always wanted to become a profiler. I find serial killers and offenders endlessly fascinating. It speaks to the analytical part of me but also to my love for being active and to work with my body. So yeah, dream job. Sadly, it never worked out. But I love my current job, too :))

i'm gonna tag the last 15 people in my notes, as I tend to do ;) And as usual, please feel free to ignore this <3

@yournowheregirl, @baronsamediswife, @hedwigs-art, @aftershocked, @princess-josephina (hellooo new follower, nice to meet you!), @demonbitchesnearyou,@dogblogbog, @silentdescant, @kaspurrcat, @gooodtoast (love the URL lol), @supernaturalvikingwhore, @wastedonyoursmile, @legitcookie, @fearlessjones and @letmeplaytheliontoo
